NotGitRepository at /course/applicant-quiz1/ - after delete of local cache

[KlavsKlavsen]

if I delete local cache (because I am running on k8s and pod restarts) - relate does not DL course again - it just fails with:
"NotGitRepository at /course/applicant-quiz1/"

is there a command to "re-download" cached courses - I could run at pod startup to fix this? instead of having to use persistent storage to keep cache forever (which would also mean it was necessary to have a backup of a cache (highly unusual and should really be unnecessary) - for otherwise things won't work, unless I delete all courses and recreate them - possibly loosing previous exam results?)

I agree that such a thing could be implemented.

That said, I have tended towards viewing the course repos in Relate as "authoritative" information, rather than "cached" information, and future changes that I have planned are headed further into that direction, such as with a built-in dev environment that allows you to make changes (i.e. commit to the repo) from within the web UI. So, operationally, I would recommend backing up those repos (and not viewing them as caches).
